ABOUT

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. I'm Deepak — a Product and UX Designer who's passionate about developing innovative products that engage users and make the user experience journey delightful.

What makes me unique and separates me from other designers is my experience as an engineer. I worked in engineering for 6 years before shifting gears and heading into design. This combination of design and engineering taught me how to not only design but also develop and build products beyond the drawing board, seeing them through the entire innovation process. I also have three years of experience leading and managing teams which gave me unique insight into the many tenets of leadership and team-building.

As a part-time musician and artist, I apply my artistic talents to designs. My design philosophy strikes a balance between aesthetics and functionality to create innovative and effective products.

I have a Master's Degree in Information Science, majoring in Human Computer Interaction, from the University of Michigan's School of Information. Prior to that I worked as a Software Engineer and Software Engineering Manager at Wipro Technologies in India and Dubai developing credit card and payment systems technology.

Apart from design, I'm also a Hindustani classical singer, football (soccer) fan, a marathon runner, dog-lover and non-celebrity chef. I love Italian cuisine and good scotch and scour new cities for hole-in-the-wall street food joints. When not performing any of the above mentioned activities, I can be found reading at least two books at any given time and binge-watching viral shows on Netflix.
